Question Why is WEdit allowed if you can't even use it?

WEdit is an allowed mod and I've seen people use it, but I can't get it to work. I tried it in singleplayer and it required me to use /debug, in singleplayer, that's fine. I'm not an admin, which means I can't use /debug, so why is WEdit allowed if we can't even use it?

steam library, right click on the starbound tab on the left.
properties>local files>browse local files
inside would be the folders you would, for example, use to put mods you download from here or other sources
